 Introduction to Microcontroller 8051
The most universally employed set of microcontrollers come from the 8051 family. 8051 Microcontrollers persist to
be an ideal choice for a huge group of hobbyists and experts. The original 8051 microcontroller was initially invented
by Intel. The two other members of this 8051 family are-
 8052-This microcontroller has 3 timers & 256 bytes of RAM. Additionally it has all the features of the
traditional 8051 microcontroller. 8051 microcontroller is a subset of 8052 microcontroller.
 8031 - This microcontroller is ROM less, other than that it has all the features of a traditional 8051
microcontroller. For execution an external ROM of size 64K bytes can be added to its chip.
8051 microcontroller brings into 2 different sorts of memory such as - NV- RAM, UV - EPROM and Flash. 8051 is
the basic microcontroller to learn embedded systems projects.

FEATURES OF 8051
1. 8051 microcontroller is an eight bit microcontroller.
2. It is available in 40 pin DIP package.
3. It has 4kb of ROM (on-chip programmable space) and 128 bytes of RAM space which is inbuilt, if
desired 64KB of external memory can be interfaced with the microcontroller.
4. There are four parallel 8 bits ports which are easily programmable as well as addressable.

.IN
5. An on- chip crystal oscillator is integrated in the microcontroller which has crystal frequency of 12MHz.
6. In the microcontroller there is a serial input/output port which has 2 pins.
7. Two timers of 16 bits are also incorporated in it; these timers can be employed as timer for internal
functioning as well as counter for external functioning.
C
8. The microcontroller comprise of 5 interrupt sources namely- Serial Port Interrupt, Timer Interrupt 1,
External Interrupt 0, Timer Interrupt 0, External Interrupt 1.
9. The programming mode of this micro-controller includes GPRs (general purpose registers), SFRs
N
(special function registers) and SPRs (special purpose registers)

INTERNAL ARCHITECHURE OF 8051 MICRO-CONTROLLER

U
VT

Studied smart, not hard — thanks to [Link]

1. ALU: All arithmetic and logical functions are carried out by the ALU. Addition, subtraction with carry, and
multiplication come under arithmetic operations. Logical AND, OR and exclusive OR (XOR) come under logical
operations.
2. Program Counter (PC) : A program counter is a 16-bit register and it has no internal address. The basic
function of program counter is to fetch from memory the address of the next instruction to be executed. The PC
holds the address of the next instruction residing in memory and when a command is encountered, it produces that
instruction. This way the PC increments automatically, holding the address of the next instruction.
3. Registers : Registers are usually known as data storage devices. 8051 microcontroller has 2 registers, namely
Register A and Register B. Register A serves as an accumulator while Register B functions as a general purpose
register. These registers are used to store the output of mathematical and logical instructions. The operations of
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are carried out by Register A. Register B is usually unused and
comes into picture only when multiplication and division functions are carried out by Register A. Register A also
involved in data transfers between the microcontroller and external memory.

PINOUT DESCRIPTION
Pins 1-8 Port 1 Each of these pins can be configured as an input or an output.

Pin 9 RS A logic one on this pin disables the microcontroller and clears the contents of most registers.
In other words, the positive voltage on this pin resets the microcontroller. By applying logic zero
to this pin, the program starts execution from the beginning
Pins10-17 Port 3 Similar to port 1, each of these pins can serve as general input or output. Besides, all of
them have alternative functions
Pin 10 RXD Serial asynchronous communication input or Serial synchronous communication output
Pin 11 TXD Serial asynchronous communication output or Serial synchronous communication clock
output
Pin 12 INT0 Interrupt 0 input
Pin 13 INT1 Interrupt 1 input
Pin 14 T0 Counter 0 clock input
Pin 15 T1 Counter 1 clock input
Pin 16 WR Write to external (additional) RAM
Pin 17 RD Read from external RAM

.IN
Pin 18, 19 XTAL2, XTAL1 are internal oscillator input and output pins. A quartz crystal which specifies
operating frequency is usually connected to these pins. Instead of it, miniature ceramics resonators
can also
Pin 20 GND Ground
Pin 21-28
C
Port 2 If there is no intention to use external memory then these port pins are configured as
general inputs/outputs. In case external memory is used, the higher address byte, i.e. addresses
N
A8-A15 will appear on this port. Even though memory with capacity of 64Kb is not used, which
means that not all eight port bits are used for its addressing, the rest of them are not available as
inputs/outputs
SY

Pin 29 PSEN If external ROM is used for storing program then a logic zero (0) appears on it every time
the microcontroller reads a byte from memory
Pin 30 ALE Prior to reading from external memory, the microcontroller puts the lower address byte (A0-
A7) on P0 and activates the ALE output. After receiving signal from the ALE pin, the external
U

register (usually 74HCT373 or 74HCT375 add-on chip) memorizes the state of P0 and uses it as a
memory chip address. Immediately after that, the ALU pin is returned its previous logic state and
VT

P0 is now used as a Data Bus. As seen, port data multiplexing is performed by means of only one
additional (and cheap) integrated circuit. In other words, this port is used for both data and
address transmission
Pin 31 EA By applying logic zero to this pin, P2 and P3 are used for data and address transmission with
no regard to whether there is internal memory or not. It means that even there is a program written
to the microcontroller, it will not be executed. Instead, the program written to external ROM will
be executed. By applying logic one to the EA pin, the microcontroller will use both memories,
first internal then external (if exists).
Pin 32-39 Port 0 Similar to P2, if external memory is not used, these pins can be used as general
inputs/outputs. Otherwise, P0 is configured as address output (A0-A7) when the ALE pin is
driven high (1) or as data output (Data Bus) when the ALE pin is driven low (0).
Pin 40 VCC +5V power supply

Viva Questions

1. Intel 8051 follows which architecture?

Intel 8051 is Harvard Architecture.
2. What is the difference between Harvard Architecture and von Neumann
Architecture?
The name Harvard Architecture comes from the Harvard Mark. The most
obvious characteristic of the Harvard Architecture is that it has physically
separate signals and storage for code and data memory. It is possible to access
program memory and data memory simultaneously. Typically, code (or
program) memory is read-only and data memory is read-write. Therefore, it is
impossible for program contents to be modified by the program itself.

The von Neumann architecture is named after the mathematician and early
computer scientist John von Neumann. Von Neumann machines have shared
signals and memory for code and data. Thus, the program can be easily modified

.IN
by itself since it is stored in read-write memory.
3. 8051 was developed using which technology?
Intel’s original MCS-51 family was developed using NMOS technology, but later
versions, identified by a letter C in their name (e.g., 80C51) used CMOS
C
technology and consume less power than their NMOS predecessors. This made
them more suitable for battery-powered devices.
N
4. Why 8051 is called an 8-bit microcontroller?
The Intel 8051 is an 8-bit microcontroller which means that most available
SY

operations are limited to 8 bits.

5. What is the width of the data bus?
8-bit data bus
6. What is the width of the address bus?
U

16-bit address bus (PC -16 bit wide).

7. List the features of the 8051 microcontrollers?
VT

40 Pin IC.
128 bytes of RAM.
4K ROM (On-chip and could be different for different versions).
2 Timers (Timer 0 and Timer 1).
32 Input/ Output pins.
1 serial port.
6 Interrupts (Including Reset).
8. What location code memory space and data memory space begins?
At location 0x00 for internal or external memory
9. What is 8051 Microcontroller ?
The intel 8051 microcontroller is one of the most popular general-purpose
microcontrollers in use today. It is an 8-bit family of microcontroller developed by
Intel in the year 1981. This microcontroller was also referred to as “system on a
chip” because it has 128 bytes of RAM, 4Kbytes of ROM, 2 Timers, 1 Serial port,

Dept. of ECE, GECR 25

Studied smart, not hard — thanks to [Link]

 Microcontrollers Lab - BECL456A

and four ports on a single chip. 8051 microcontroller allows CPU to work on 8bits
of data at a time. In case the data is larger than 8 bits then it has to be broken into
parts so that the CPU can process conveniently.
10. What are registers in Microcontroller ?
Register provides a fast way to collect and store data using microcontrollers and
processors. If we want to manipulate data with a controller or processor by
performing tasks like addition, subtraction, and so on, we cannot do that directly
in the memory, in order to perform these tasks we need registers to process and
store the data. Microcontrollers contain several types of registers that can be
classified according to their content or instructions that operate on them.
The 8051 microcontroller contains mainly two types of registers:

.IN
• General purpose registers (Byte addressable registers)
• Special function registers (Bit addressable registers)
C
11. Which are the most common 8051 series of microcontrollers?
Atmel series AT89C2051 and Philips family P89C51RD2 are the two most
N
common microcontrollers of 8051 families.
SY

12. What is the internal RAM size of 8051

128 bytes
13. When 8051 wakes up then 0x00 is loaded to which register?
U

Program Counter
VT

14. How many bytes of bit addressable memory is present in 8051 based
microcontrollers?
16 bytes
15. List Interrupts available in 8051 microcontrollers.
• External interrupt 0 (IE0) has highest priority among interrupts.
• Timer interrupt 0 (TF0)
• External interrupt 1 (IE1)
• Timer interrupt 1 (TF1) has lowest priority among other interrupts.
• Serial port Interrupt
• Reset
16. What is the meaning of the instruction MOV A,05H?
Address 05H is stored in the accumulator.

22. DAA command adds 6 to the nibble if:
N
Either CY or AC is 1
SY

23. What is the clock source for the timers?

From the crystal applied to the micro-controller
24. What is the function of the TMOD register?
U

TMOD register is used to set different timer’s or counter’s to their appropriate

VT

modes
25. Auto reload mode is allowed in which mode of the timer?
Mode 2
26. A counter is fundamentally a sequential circuit that proceeds through the
predetermined sequence of states only when input pulses are applied to it.
Register
27. Which special function register play a vital role in the timer/counter mode
selection process by allocating the bits in it?
TMOD
28. ANL instruction is used
To AND the contents of the two registers and to mask the status of the bits
29. CJNE instruction makes

Dept. of ECE, GECR 27

Studied smart, not hard — thanks to [Link]

 Microcontrollers Lab - BECL456A

In CJNE command, the pointer jumps if the values of the two registers are
not equal and it resets CY if the destination address is larger then the
source address and sets CY if the destination address is smaller then the
source address.
30. XRL, ORL, ANL commands have
accumulator as the destination address and any register, memory or any
immediate data as the source address
31. In unsigned number addition, the status of which bit is
important? CY
32. Which of these instructions have no effect on the flags of PSW?
ANL, ORL and [Link] instructions are the arithmetic operations and

.IN
the flags are affected by the data copy instructions, so all these
instructions don’t affect the bits of the flag.
C
33. What does ASCII stand for?
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The ASCII codes
N
are used to represent the bits into symbols and vice versa. ASCII is the
SY

American Standard Code which is used to exchange information.

34. Binary Coding for the letter X is 01011000
35. Binary coded decimal is a combination of
U

Four binary digits. Binary coded decimal is a combination of 4 binary

VT

digits. For example-8421.

36. Add the two BCD numbers: 1001 + 0100 = ?
00010011. Firstly, Add the 1001 and 0100. We get 1101 as output but
it’s not in BCD form. So, we add 0110 (i.e. 6) with 1101. As a result we
get 10011 and it’s BCD form is 0001 0011.
37. Which is the number system that uses numbers as well as
alphabets? Hexadecimal System

Multiplication
MUL AB. This instruction multiplies two 8 bit unsigned numbers which are stored in A and B register. After
multiplication the lower byte of the result will be stored in accumulator and higher byte of result will be
stored in B register.
Eg. MOV A,#45H ; [A]=45H
MOV B,#0F5H ; [B]=F5H
MUL AB ; [A] x [B] = 45 x F5 = 4209 ;[A]=09H, [B]=42H
DIV AB. This instruction divides the 8 bit unsigned number which is stored in A by the 8 bit unsigned number
which is stored in B register. After division the result will be stored in accumulator and remainder will be stored
in B register.
Eg. MOV A,#45H ; [A]=0E8H
MOV B,#0F5H ; [B]=1BH
DIV AB ; [A] / [B] = E8 /1B = 08 H with remainder 10H; [A] = 08H, [B]=10H

Branch (JUMP) Instructions

Jump and Call Program Range
There are 3 types of jump instructions. They are:-
1. Relative Jump
2. Short Absolute Jump
3. Long Absolute Jump

Relative Jump
Jump that replaces the PC (program counter) content with a new address that is greater than (the
address following the jump instruction by 127 or less) or less than (the address following the jump by

128 or less) is called a relative jump. Schematically, the relative jump can be shown as follows: -

.IN
The advantages of the relative jump are as follows:-
1. Only 1 byte of jump address needs to be specified in the 2's complement form, ie. For jumping ahead,
the range is 0 to 127 and for jumping back, the range is -1 to -128.
2. Specifying only one byte reduces the size of the instruction and speeds up program execution.
C
3. The program with relative jumps can be relocated without reassembling to generate absolute jump
addresses.
Disadvantages of the absolute jump: -
N
1. Short jump range (-128 to 127 from the instruction following the jump instruction)
SY

Instructions that use Relative Jump

SJMP <relative address>; this is unconditional jump
The remaining relative jumps are conditional jumps
U

JC <relative address>
JNC <relative address>
JB bit, <relative address>
VT

JNB bit, <relative address>

JBC bit, <relative address>
CJNE <destination byte>, <source byte>, <relative address>
DJNZ <byte>, <relative address>
JZ <relative address>
JNZ <relative address>
Another classification of jump instructions is
1. Unconditional Jump
2. Conditional Jump

1. The unconditional jump is a jump in which control is transferred unconditionally to the target
location.
a. LJMP (long jump). This is a 3-byte instruction. First byte is the op-code and second and third
bytes represent the 16-bit target address which is any memory location from 0000 to FFFFH

eg: LJMP 3000H

b. AJMP: this causes unconditional branch to the indicated address, by loading the 11 bit address
to 0 -10 bits of the program counter. The destination must be therefore within the same 2K blocks.

c. SJMP (short jump). This is a 2-byte instruction. First byte is the op-code and second byte is the
relative target address, 00 to FFH (forward +127 and backward -128 bytes from the current PC
value). To calculate the target address of a short jump, the second byte is added to the PC value
which is address of the instruction immediately below the jump.

2. Conditional Jump instructions.

JBC Jump if bit ＝ 1 and clear bit
JNB Jump if bit ＝ 0
JB Jump if bit ＝ 1
JNC Jump if CY ＝ 0
JC Jump if CY ＝ 1
CJNE reg,#data Jump if byte ≠ #data
CJNE A,byte Jump if A ≠ byte
DJNZ Decrement and Jump if A ≠ 0
JNZ Jump if A ≠ 0

.IN
JZ Jump if A ＝ 0
All conditional jumps are short jumps.
Bit level jump instructions: C
Bit level JUMP instructions will check the conditions of the bit and if condition is true, it jumps to the
address specified in the instruction. All the bit jumps are relative jumps.
JB bit, rel ; jump if the direct bit is set to the relative address specified.
N
JNB bit, rel ; jump if the direct bit is clear to the relative address specified.
JBC bit, rel ; jump if the direct bit is set to the relative address specified and then clear the bit.
SY

The following are the widely used 8051 assembler directives.

ORG (origin)
U

The ORG directive is used to indicate the starting address. It can be used only when the program counter
needs to be changed. The number that comes after ORG can be either in hex or in decimal.
VT

Eg: ORG 0000H ; Set PC to 0000.

EQU and SET

EQU and SET directives assign numerical value or register name to the specified symbol name.
EQU is used to define a constant without storing information in the memory. The symbol defined with
EQU should not be redefined.
SET directive allows redefinition of symbols at a later stage.

DB (DEFINE BYTE)
The DB directive is used to define an 8 bit data. DB directive initializes memory with 8 bit values.
The numbers can be in decimal, binary, hex or in ASCII formats. For decimal, the 'D' after the
decimal number is optional, but for binary and hexadecimal, 'B' and ‘H’ are required. For ASCII, the
number is written in quotation marks (‘LIKE This).

END
The END directive signals the end of the assembly module. It indicates the end of the program to the
assembler. Any text in the assembly file that appears after the END directive is ignored. If the END
statement is missing, the assembler will generate an error message

TIMERS AND COUNTERS

Timers/Counters are used generally for
• Time reference
• Creating delay
• Wave form properties measurement
• Periodic interrupt generation
• Waveform generation 8051 has two timers, Timer 0 and Timer 1. Timer in 8051 is used as timer,
counter and baud rate generator. Timer always counts up irrespective of whether it is used as timer,
counter, or baud rate generator: Timer is always incremented by the microcontroller. The time taken
to count one digit up is based on master clock frequency.

If Master CLK=12 MHz, Timer Clock frequency = Master CLK/12 = 1 MHz Timer Clock Period =
1micro second This indicates that one increment in count will take 1 micro second. The two timers
in 8051 share two SFRs (TMOD and TCON) which control the timers, and each timer also has two
SFRs dedicated solely to itself (TH0/TL0 and TH1/TL1).
Timer/ Counter Control Logic.

TIMER MODES Timers can operate in four different modes. They are as follows Timer Mode-0: In
this mode, the timer is used as a 13-bit UP counter as follows.

Fig. Operation of Timer on Mode-0 The lower 5 bits of TLX and 8 bits of THX are used for the 13
bit [Link] 3 bits of TLX are ignored. When the counter rolls over from all 0's to all 1's, TFX
flag is set and an interrupt is generated. The input pulse is obtained from the previous stage. If TR1/0
bit is 1 and Gate bit is 0, the counter continues counting up. If TR1/0 bit is 1 and Gate bit is 1, then
the operation of the counter is controlled by input. This mode is useful to measure the width of a
given pulse fed to input.

Timer Mode-1: This mode is similar to mode-0 except for the fact that the Timer operates in 16-bit mode.

Timer Mode-2: (Auto-Reload Mode): This is a 8 bit counter/timer operation. Counting is performed in TLX
while THX stores a constant value. In this mode when the timer overflows i.e. TLX becomes FFH, it is fed
with the value stored in THX. For example if we load THX with 50H then the timer in mode 2 will count
from 50H to FFH. After that 50H is again reloaded. This mode is useful in applications like fixed time
sampling.

.IN
Timer Mode-3: Timer 1 in mode-3 simply holds its count. The effect is same as setting TR1=0. Timer0 in
mode-3 establishes TL0 and TH0 as two separate counters.
C

SY

Control bits TR1 and TF1 are used by Timer-0 (higher 8 bits) (TH0) in Mode-3 while TR0 and TF0 are

available to Timer-0 lower 8 bits(TL0).
